Question:

Draw the cis- and trans-structures for hex-2-ene. Which iosmer will have higher b.p. and why?

Answer:

The structures of cis- and trans-isomer of hex-2-ene are:
ncert-solutions-class-11th-chemistry-chapter-13-hydrocarbons-15
The boiling point of a molecule depends upon dipole-dipole interactions. Since cis-isomer has higher dipole moment, therefore, it has higher boiling point.
